Christmas comes early for Oxford as the city’s newest bar opens at Westgate on 22 November
Flight Club – the lively fairground inspired bar and Social Darts experience is coming to Oxford and is set to open its doors on 22 November, just in time for the festive season.
Promising to bring a one-of-a-kind social experience to Oxford, Flight Club is built around bringing groups of friends together for an unforgettable time. Located on the roof terrace level of the Westgate Shopping Centre, the people of Oxford can expect a stunning bar with an always high-energy atmosphere, craft cocktails and delicious sharing dishes. Unexpected, ridiculous, joy every time.
Flight Club Oxford will feature semi-private oches (Social Darts playing areas) around a spectacular bar, plenty of seating options and two glorious terraces. Its fusion of delicious food and drink, beautiful interiors, banging DJ sets, and energetic vibe makes this new addition to Oxford’s bar scene the ideal spot for memorable moments with friends.
Darts revolutionised
Flight Club’s hugely popular Social Darts experience has completely reimagined the traditional game, taking darts into the 21st Century with fun, fast-paced multi-player games that anyone can play.
First-time visitors to Flight Club should leave any pre-conceptions about darts at the door. This revamped version of the game has had a seriously high-tech makeover. There’s no need for arithmetic, as cameras track and automatically score every dart thrown. Live action replays appear on screen during the session, and later, sharable stories of the best moments are delivered directly to your phone.
Perfect for groups of friends, Flight Club throws the traditional two-player game out the window. Social Darts, Flight Club’s name for its new and improved version of darts, can accommodate 12 people around an oche. And, ideal for big groups or corporate events and Christmas parties, multiple oches can be connected to allow up to 250 players to join epic tournaments hosted by an expert Gamesmaster.
There are six immersive and fast-paced games to choose from. Games include ‘Demolition’, which sees players start with 180 points, and take turns throwing their darts, with the aim of getting to 0. Unlike traditional darts, there’s no need to finish on a double to win, making it easier for those who have never played before. In the game ‘Killer’, players must hit their assigned number three times to become a killer. When they achieve killer status, they must hit other players’ numbers to try and knock them out. The winner is the last one standing.
Small plates, sharing pizzas and spectacular cocktails
The food menu at Flight Club Oxford will include crowd-pleasing dishes ideal for sharing and eating mid-throw. Sourdough pizza paddles, juicy burgers and loaded fries are just some of the treats on offer.
If you’re a cocktail aficionado, you’ll be in good hands, with plenty of options to choose from, including signature cocktails, classics with a twist, cocktail slushies – perfect for balmy summer evenings – and sharing trophy cocktails served in a show-stopping trophy cup – the best way to toast the Social Darts champions.
Bottomless brunch with a twist
Not forgetting everyone’s favourite weekend pastime, Flight Club Oxford will also offer a bottomless brunch you won’t want to miss. Plenty of booze, great food, and an all-round epic time. Tickets for the two-hour brunch session cost from £30pp and include 60 minutes of gameplay at the oche, a bottle of prosecco per person and all the pizza you can eat. Party vibes are guaranteed as the resident DJ blasts the tunes throughout the day.
The setting: All the fun of the fairground
Flight Club Oxford will be decked out in Flight Club’s signature style, combining the fun of the fairground with Victorian nods and all the best bits of a traditional British pub. Think fairground-style signage and lighting that blinks in time to the music, panelling, bold prints, and subtle nods to Oxford’s history throughout.
There are treasures and trinkets in every corner to surprise and delight, including clocks and barometers of varying sizes on the walls, fun adaptations to Victorian portraits, reclaimed antique furniture pieces and a fairground carousel horse.
The venue is 7,000 sq/ft, with 11 oches and a capacity of 250 people.
Steve Moore, CEO and co-founder of Flight Club, said, “We can’t wait to bring the Flight Club experience to Oxford. It’s an incredible city with so much history, so we’re really excited to become a part of that, but also, we believe that Flight Club offers something truly special and unique that the city hasn’t seen before. We consider ourselves experts when it comes to bringing groups of friends together and showing them a seriously good time, so the people of Oxford should brace themselves for what’s to come. The Flight Club party is about to go off and we couldn’t be more excited!”
